The Bachelor of Arts in music and sound recording is a unique four-year degree program. Its development is based on the philosophy that musicians should have a working knowledge of the media through which their art is most often heard and that sound recordists should have a working knowledge of the art form they are recording. Thus, the program is designed to instruct students in three interrelated areas: 1) music history, theory, and aesthetics; 2) musicianship; and 3) sound recording methodology and technique.
Program Outcomes
1. Students can apply knowledge in understanding music as culture and in its cultural and social context.
2. Students can effectively apply sound recording methodology and technique in conceiving and realizing music and sound recordings and the meaning of mediated music in culture.
3. Students can effectively apply sound recording methodology and technique in conceiving and realizing music and sound recordings and the meaning of mediated music in culture.
4. Students can understand and actively engage in the commodification of music and its role as intellectual property in terms of ownership, production, promotion, and distribution.
All students majoring in the B.A. in music and sound recording must complete 123-124 credits.
